Diana believes that good healthy relationships are an integral part of our happiness, thus she finds it fulfilling to help others be the best versions of themselves and helping mend relationships. Diana not only tends to her clients’ needs, but to her garden as well. She also loves to travel and has lived in five different countries!

Christine joined EMCC as a Principal Counsellor. With Christine, you are definitely in safe hands – for she has ample of experience under her belt. Alongside the counselling services she provides to her clients, she also helps her fellow counsellors – both from EMCC and external agencies – by providing supervision/consultations. As a counsellor, what Christine finds fulfilling is helping people find their sense of self, experience wholeness and bringing these into their relationships and lives. With the passion that she has for her work, it is no wonder she has been in this profession for over 26 years! In true Singaporean fashion, Christine is a lover of food. She adores her spices as well, especially chillies.

Hwee Min believes that love is something fundamental that we search for in its different forms, at various points in our lives. This belief is what brought Hwee Min into counselling. She wants to help individuals be fulfilled and reconciled with their personal and relational struggles. In addition, to also experience love for others and for themselves amidst their feelings of brokenness. This passion to serve accompanied with her warm personality helps her clients feel safe and welcomed. Behind her serene disposition lies a very imaginative mind, where she imagines a future where cars can be folded and tucked into our pockets.

Ying Shi ensures the smooth running of the mediation department and is a mediator herself. She believes that conflicts can be resolved in miraculous ways and mediation allows the space, time and grace to do so. Ying Shi has a mantra that she lives by: “That which has to be done will have to be done, so just do it.” This mantra allows her to achieve the high standards that she holds herself and her work to. However, the EMCC family knows that it can be draining and stressful for her at times. Fortunately, she knows that we’ve got her back! You go, girl!

Pearl first joined EMCC to debut as our “mascot”, Chan Tai. Chan Tai is the main character of our four-part web series which shows the common ways people ruin their relationships. Watch Pearl in action over here! With Pearl’s expressive personality, it comes as no surprise that she possesses a talent for acting. After breathing life into Chan Tai, Pearl has put aside her ‘wayang’ gear to serve EMCC in other ways. Now, as Head of Corporate Services, Pearl oversees matters pertaining to HR, Admin, Finance, Facilities Management and the Training & Education department. Stay tuned, for Pearl-the-actor might just make a comeback.

Joline provides administrative support to the counselling department and oversees the research work within. Like a ninja, she often nimbly manoeuvres between her cubicle and the intake officers’ desk to assist with counselling related processes, reporting, and documentation matters. Joline also manages the web-based feedback database system that our counsellors use to ensure that we deliver quality services to our clients. To help her analytical mind assess the seemingly endless amount of data, Joline enjoys basking in the aroma of her essential oils. When Joline is not squinting at numbers for work, she applies her analytical skills to experimenting and persistently refining her baking recipes.

Jonathan is at the helm of the Media and Communications team, which is the mouthpiece and brand custodian of EMCC. Jonathan’s role is to lead the team behind the branding personality of the organisation. He is also EMCC’s very own in-house photographer (fun fact: he took these lovely photos of our staff you see on this page!). Jonathan’s deep passion for photography can only be rivalled by his love for adventures in the land of the rising sun, Japan. Lucky for him, our office is located at Singapore’s very own Japan town – Liang Court! Banzai!

Together with Jonathan, the “captain” of the Media and Communications team, Clara’s main role is all aboat helping with EMCC’s brand personality, as well as creating and maintaining EMCC’s relationship with the public. Clara may be the youngest in the EMCC family and has much to learn, but that doesn’t stop her from dreaming big. She is full of ideas and is eager (or should we say “eagle”. Ha. Ha.) to show the world the meaningful work done by the wonderful people of EMCC. Clara absailutely enjoys making puns and blessing/punishing others with them.

Sarah handles the administrative side of EMCC, alongside Pearl. Her work includes providing direction, manpower, and resources, for effective management and record-keeping. Her heart for people led her to make the change from being an accountant in a corporate world to EMCC where she hopes to be more exposed to the social services sector and find more meaning for herself. Sarah is usually her bubbly, lovable self until it is time for us to submit our claims. We shudder when she goes, “Claims are due on Friday! Where are your claims?”. (Refer to Sarah’s photo to witness her bone-chilling fury).
